One of the most famous mansions, on the architectural plan of which flaunts the signature of the great Gaudi, the Casa Batllo is located on the avenue Passage de Gràcia, in the heart of the Eixample district .Everything in this building is amazing: the "dancing" facade, decorated with colorful sprays of ceramic mosaic, balconies reminiscent of simultaneously taking on the helmets of medieval knights and whalebone, the multicolored roof tiles, in the outlines of which you can guess the curved strange dragon, "brand" chimneys and stained glass windows .When you look at the house of Batllo from the street, it seems that the building lives, breathes and closely follows the movements of its guests .

The interior of the mansion is no less remarkable - here you can see the chandelier-sun, as if emerging from the abyss of the ceiling, stair railing and furniture made of soft wood, the ceramic facing of the cozy color of faded blue and the mass of stained glass inserts glowing with the color of jam from gooseberry.
